As usual I have been having some problems The PC has taken to switching itself off, during normal operation.

As I thought this could be due to 'fried' components I removed most of them only to have the hassle of windows requiring me to authenticate my copy of XP, which I couldn't do as I had no modem.... Eventually got that sorted.

I am currently running with the onboard graphics and only one HD (which passed windows check disk and seagate diagnostics 100% problem free). My mouse started to stutter and jerk, even though I'd upgraded my graphics driver and then froze which is when the PC decided to restart itself.

Is the best way forward to run for a while without any additional PCI cards and then add tem back one at a time? Or do you believe it is a pwer supply issue?

Also can I be confident my hard drive is OK -i.e. are those tests reliable?

Thanks.
